With Covid 19 running rampid, we debated about cancelling our family vacation this year. We planned it last Oct and have been looking forward to it ever since. The kids and I, all felt ok about going, but Mike didn't feel comfortable. We decided to let him stay home, and I would quarantine after, until we were sure I wouldn't be bringing home any bad germs. We rented this AWESOME 7 bedroom house.
It had a huge pool in the backyard, which everyone LOVED!
It also had a hot tub. Sooooo fun! (How many people can you fit in a hot tub?)
Most of our time was spent in either the pool or the hot tub.
The "Bigs"
The "Middles"
The "Littles"
The Boys
And Savvy (wherever she was, there were lots of girls!)
We sewed masks
These girls did a great job sewing.
Kelsi, modeling hers that she made.
Sophie taught a mini class in Peerler beads.
They made some fun stuff.
There was a nice game room.
It kept the kids entertained when they weren't in the pool.😊
There was also a theater room.
The boys made amazing things with my magnet blocks.
We had a big birthday party for all the April-August birthdays that we missed because of Covid 19.
Jamie made these beautiful and delicious cakes, and brought them with her.
We had quite a few birthdays to celebrate!
Kelsi got these fun activity books for her birthday that she shared with the girls.
Lani brought some cool beads that the kids had fun making things with.
Jamie did a little drawing class with some of the girls.
There was never a dull moment,
So much to do!
One night, Lani and I tended all the kids, while their parents went out to dinner.
I had bought a few candy bars to play the candy bar game.
They had a great time getting to visit without kids.
Our last day there, we spent at Sand Hollow Reservoir. Josh brought their kayaks, and the kids had so much fun playing in the water, which was 83 degrees.
They also had fun digging in the sand and making traps!
Again, wherever Savvy was, the girls were too!
At first, she was pretty nervous around so many people, (she's been in quarantine her whole life)
but it didn't take her long to warm up.
She was definitely the star of the show!
We had such a great day, we had a huge area of the beach, all to ourselves.
All too soon, it was time to pack up our bags and head for home.
Hailey rode back to Salt Lake with me and Lani.
I spent a few days at Josh's and Krista's houses and headed home on Saturday.
We made a bunch more masks, since all the kids have to wear them to school this year.
The only thing that could have made our trip better, was if Mike had been there.
